New Jersey Driver's License Numbers

You might want to look at my disclaimer before using this information for anything important. You might want to see warning about fake ids before using this information to make a fake id.

The following is from an email message from a contributor who has declined credit. This is just a very early draft, I'll reorganize it soon. If you happen to have additional information, or can supply some data points,
please let me know.

Not sure what these are for:
71-SPECIAL
81-CODE
91-NONE

[Name encoding is] approximately linear,
if the last name is "Qxxyz", it might appear as "Q9895" or somesuch
(encoding the "xxyz"). If it is "Carey" it might appear as "C0342" or
somesuch (encoding the "arey"). I'm not sure how many letters it takes into
account when encoding, but I expect 4-5. First names and middle initials
follow, except that they encode starting from the 1st character for the
first name and encode just the initial for the middle name.

License Serial Number

XX LLyyyyDDDnnnn TYP dd.cc

This appears below the signature line. It is unique to each issued
license. XX and LL are alpha. yyyy DDD nnnn are numeric. TYP is alpha.
dd.cc is numeric.

XX

This one we were not really sure of. We believed that it was the
initials of the official at the DMV that issued the license, but
this was a guess.

day of the year the license was issued (Jan 1 = 001, Dec 31 = 365)
(these two match the issue date displayed on the license)

nnnn

daily serial number - if the license was issued early in the day,
this number would be low. As the day progresses, this number
increases (probably one per license). If you were there at 8am it
could be 0014. If you were there past noon, it could be 1200 at a
busier DMV office.

TYP

license type
INI = initial license
REN = renewal
(there are others)

dd.cc

cost of license in dollars and cents, mine was 18.00
